Jackson was rescued from a pound in southern Indiana where adult dogs have little chance of finding new homes once they are surrendered, and have a limited time to stay at the pound. Jackson is friendly and very handsome. Come meet Jackson at the Animal Care Center in Plainfield, 815-436-8387. Available pets also can be viewed at www.helpsavepets.org
Human Haven Animal Shelter has for adoption Ursula, a 1-year-old tortoise shell that gave birth to three kittens in fall. One survived and was adopted, and now Ursula would like a home of her own.

Ursula can be seen during adoption hours at the Bolingbrook PetSmart from 5-7 p.m. on Wednesday and 1-3 p.m. on Sunday. For more information, call 630-378-4208 or visit hhas.org.
